The door of the Qiao sisters' mansion slowly opened, and a beautiful face popped up. After seeing that it was Guo Jia, he lowered his vigilance and showed surprise.

"The general is back, please please."

Xiao Qiao, who was wearing white silk skirt, opened the door of the mansion and insisted on opening both halves to show respect. Guo Jia stepped into the mansion and stopped her.

"Stop busy with work. You know that I don't care about these vain gifts. It's cold outside. Why don't you get into the house quickly."

Xiao Qiao smiled like a flower, and Guo Jia said whatever she said, and walked back to the house with the corner of her skirt to inform her sister Guo Jia about coming to the door.

When he walked into the house, he put down Guo Ye. Seeing Da Qiao's expression was a bit haggard, Xiao Qiao also had a little tired look. The two sisters stood in front of him, with a pair of beautiful women and beautiful women, and tears flowed out from Qiu Shui's eyes.

Without saying anything, he stepped forward and opened his arms to hug the two of them into his arms. Guo Jia hugged them gently, with a faint fragrance swelling in his arms, but he was focused on his heart and said softly: "Jia is so sinful that you will be scared and afraid of following me, and you will be in danger."

Tears filled my eyes, Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao shook their heads silently, and were hugged by Guo Jia at this moment. Although Guo Jia did not exert force, both of them seemed to be breathless, but they had no idea to break free.

Standing on the Chengdu city tower toward the rebels, are the two women afraid? Fear! Have you ever thought about retreating? No!

Now when Guo Jia comes back, everything is worth it.

As soon as his body was removed, Guo Jia stroked his hands on the faces of the two sisters, wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with his fingertips, and smiled gently: "Your tears are more painful than a sword slashing on me. If you cry again? You might as well stab me to death with the sword."

Puchi

The two sisters burst into tears and laughed, and felt that their faces must be bad at this time, so they turned around and wiped their tears together.

Guo Jia didn't bother them to turn their backs and tidy up their faces, and knelt down in the seats in the house at will. Guo Ye followed suit and knelt down next to him, with a focused expression but would always secretly glance at Guo Jia.

After the two women wiped away their tears, they turned around and saw Guo Jia sitting in the guest room and wanted to invite him to the main seat. Guo Jia waved his hand and said with a smile: "All family, don't worry about the common etiquette. Are you still satisfied with everything after coming to Chengdu? If you have any discomfort in daily life, it is my fault for not thinking well."

The two sisters smiled gently and shook their heads together. Xiao Qiao thought of something, so she ran to the inner room and took out a small dress, came to Guo Ye to compete, and then handed it to Guo Jia and said, "This is a winter clothes made for Ye'er, and I don't know if it fits."

After taking it, Guo Jia spread out his blue silk clothes, turned around and let Guo Ye stand up, put it on for him personally, smoothing the edges, just fitting.

But Guo Jia smiled bitterly at the two girls and said, "There is no need to bother with children's clothes. This needle and thread are your wishes. But he is growing up and probably won't be able to wear it next year. In the future, don't bother with him. At a young age, I have no worries about food and clothing. I am really afraid that he will be spoiled and will be a prodigal son in the future."

Guo Ye couldn't understand Guo Jia's words, so he put on his new clothes and then imitated Guo Jia to kneel down, with his expression always very serious.

The two girls who covered their mouths and smirked did not accept Guo Jia's words. They all knew that although Cai Yan favored Guo Ye, he was strict in discipline. However, Guo Ye could really make a cruel lesson when he was making trouble.

Talk about trivial matters, talk about friendship, laughter and joy in the room, Guo Jia also felt the relaxation and happiness of ordinary people that had not been there for a long time in Qiao.

Rejecting the good intention of Qiao Xiao and Xiao to cook for him, Guo Jia was about to leave, but just as he was about to leave, Da Qiao looked embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable.

Guo Jia found that her expression was strange and asked, but Da Qiao wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end it was Xiao Qiao who solved Guo Jia's doubts.

"General, my sister and I want to ask you something, please beg us sisters."

Guo Jia, who had a somewhat surprised expression, suppressed his intentions and said happily: "Xiao Qiao, even if you and Da Qiao are beautiful women of the country, you can't use the beauty trick to make me confused and agree to you first. You should talk about the matter first and then consider whether to agree."

Xiao Qiao blushed and stared at Guo Jia with a flat mouth and said, "General, you, when did my sister and I use the beauty trick?"

Guo Jia blinked at her, saw her shy but stubborn expression, and smiled and said, "It's now. Don't you know what you are now, enough to fall into the men in the world?"

Xiao Qiao, who felt teased, turned his face away and said in a muffled voice: "General is humiliating his politeness. Humph, my sister and I hope you can properly place your fallen soldiers and relatives who have become orphans and widows. You must agree to this matter, General."

After Xiao Qiao said that, Guo Jia put away his joking mentality, his expression was a little heavy, and he fell into deep thought.

Seeing Guo Jia's expression, he thought he was angry. Da Qiao hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "General, Xiao Qiao is ignorant and nonsense, don't worry."

Xiao Qiao thought he was right, but when he saw Guo Jia's expressionless face, he also thought that his words angered Guo Jia. He immediately turned his face and refused to bow his head to Guo Jia, and forced himself to prevent tears from falling.

Guo Jia raised his hand to Da Qiao and said with a serious look: "Da Qiao, don't get me wrong. Xiao Qiao said that, I have no choice but to do this. Among the fallen soldiers, there are indeed many families who have become helpless. Maybe some pensions can help them overcome the difficulties for the time being, but it is not a long-term solution. It is time for me to think carefully about how to resettle them."

Generally, people will not choose to join the army if they have only sons and have no descendants, because this may lead to a loss of children and grandchildren. The so-called unfilial piety is the greatest thing. Confucianism advocates benevolence and filial piety to rule the world. The people of the Han Dynasty agreed with it. However, many people in the Taiping Army were desperate and could only rebel. Whether they were only sons or left behind orphans and widows, their families would become very difficult in the future after falling down at home.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao witnessed the bloody battle outside Chengdu with their own eyes. Although the rebels did not receive any sympathy, there were also soldiers who died in the trapped camp. They lost their lives for Guo Jia. In any case, they should give them an explanation. A little money and food may be able to support their family for several years, but what about a few years later?

It is precisely because of this that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao hope that Guo Jia can agree to their proposal.

Seeing that Guo Jia was not angry and did not blame them for interfering in business, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were relieved. The tears that Xiao Qiao had just held back fell down, and while wiping, he complained to Guo Jia: "General, can't you stop suddenly from having an expression of wanting to eat people? I'm scared to death."

Guo Jia smiled boredly, but his expression was still a little serious. He raised his eyes and asked Da Qiao: "Since you have made such a suggestion, are there any specific implementation plans? I want to help them, but I can't let them live by help."

Aid is not the same as vain. Guo Jia can provide protection policies and preferential conveniences, but it is impossible to raise idle people. Over time, this will become a burden for him. Although Yizhou is large, its economy is not developed, it is not as good as the Central Plains, and the north. It is because of the war in the north that the northern population migrated to the south, which brought advanced technology to the south and accelerated the economic development. However, in terms of foundation, Yizhou is still very weak, and every place must be carefully planned.

Adhering to an economic policy of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, Guo Jia is cautious about every expenditure.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao looked at each other and smiled, everything was sad. When he turned to Guo Jia, he looked solemn. Da Qiao said, "General, when you were in Yingchuan, you helped refugees and personally taught the poor children. Now you should continue to open a school to teach them the orphans of the fallen soldiers. This move can save the orphans from the suffering of displacement, become talents in the future, and it is also a great help to the general."

Guo Jia listened attentively. This made sense. He had already made plans, but he had not discussed it with the counselors.

Why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion fail? It’s not that they are not strong, but that the leaders have no long-term vision and Guo Jia is unwilling to assist Zhang Jiao. This is the big reason.

If there is no plan to cultivate military and political talents, then this kind of civilian uprising will not go far, and the consequences they can create are only destruction! The general trend of the world, long-term division will lead to unity and long-term division will lead to division. In fact, chaos will lead to governance, and long-term governance will lead to chaos.

Taipingdao has no talent that can be "ruled" and has no intention to cultivate such talents. Therefore, what they can do is to destroy the Han Dynasty, which has been exhausted, but they have no ability to truly return to peace in the world.

Cultivating talents is something Guo Jia has been doing very early and long ago. He is doing it with Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Zuo Ci and others. To change the world and open up a new era, talents need to be executors. Guo Jia has always taken this policy and route to heart.

If you have a plan for orphans caused by war, you will cultivate talents and be the follow-up talents for Guo Jia's future rule.

"Da Qiao's words are very consistent with my heart, but what should the mothers of these children do? Or are the sisters and elders and other females, should they go to the fields to farm?" Guo Jia asked solemnly.

Da Qiao didn't say anything, and asked Xiao Qiao to answer. Xiao Qiao had just cried and her eyes were slightly red, but she was very energetic and said seriously: "General, Shu brocade is famous all over the world. It is not difficult to master this craft. If the general is determined to place an orphanage and widowed mother, they can let them live together in the same place, weave and embroider Shu brocade, and exchange it for money and food, wouldn't it be possible for them to support themselves?"
